I got tired of always leaving my family behind when I drive. I discovered that tho I love my hobbies, I love it more when i am able to do it with the people I love.

But i hope to stick around. Will post pics when I get it. I can post pics of what i test drove...lol... Same color...Hehe

G2Z,

I wish you all the luck with the new 5.0. Make sure you keep us updated on any work or experiences you have with it. This might be a 370z forum, but I know I at least still enjoy seeing what people do to cars regardless of make.

Pretty soon no one is going to own a Z anymore lol

Drove the Z to work today after slumming it in the Altima for the past 8 days. Could not drive the plebeian-mobile and had to mix it up.

I have the timing on all the traffic lights to and from my commute to work memorized and the Altima just did not have enough punch to make the time cut offs.

A good example is this one red light in particular that I know there's no way to avoid. As soon as it turns green and I turn left onto the road, if I travel slower than 55mph I will hit the next light as it turns yellow and will have to stop. However, if I travel at 60mph or higher i will easily make it past the second light on a green and see it transition into yellow through my rear view. The Altima just doesn't have the punch like the Z does to get up to the average speed before that cut off happens.

Dunno if I should be or that I actually have the timings of lights memorized...

Saw a boring gunmetal grey 5.0. Makes me glad that I don't have to worry about needing a back seat. Did remind me why our Z's look so damb awesome and individual. Have a great Z 1 spohn.

What did I do with my Z today? Nothing! Well, ok, I stared at my empty 3rd stall garage and wasn't too sad

I went in there debating if I should get kona, black or candy red. I saw the kona parked there, 1/2 in the sun, 1/2 in the shade. In the sun, it was metallic deep blue. In the shade it was blackish almost purple. I knew then I wanted (needed) kona

I also know what you mean now when you say the paint quality is better on the Ford than the Nissan... I agree.

Thanks Nick. Yes, I love all cars... I made sure I went into this with an open mind. I can honestly say, imo, I like the stang more. Simple as that. Everyone is entitled to a choice, and that's mine But yeah, I will keep you guys updated.

latest news the store told me even though they show 9 available they made a mistake and do not have the black SR35's no more and neither does their distributor. so i need to look around locally to see if anyone has them muteki SR35 black's.

What's funny is that I will be the only Asian guy with a Mustang that I've ever seen. LOL. Been an import lover all my life. This new 5.0 is really that radical and that good.

But yeah, thanks Ken. Been an honor to own a Z with you. It was fun and I have no regrets. Loved that car too.

hahaha yah, ive never seen an asian guy in a stang either. it's good to be original i guess. lol say 'hi' to modshack for me when you're out and about the mustang forums. he was one of the first to jump ship to the 5.0 from the Z.

Technically, since you're asian, you're moving from a domestic(asian car) to an import(american car).
